2011... resolutions or not?

Is there any point in making New Year's resolutions? How many will be broken before the end of January? Hands up if you make the same ones every year only to fail to keep them...


So maybe we should make positive affirmations instead? Then we are less likely to fail and maybe actually get somewhere!


Here are mine:

I will get into better shape!

I will finish moving into my new home!

I will encourage my kids to be tidier - by leading by example!

I will start working out how to get myself off benefits and self-sufficient!

There you go that's nice and easy....

100 Books Challenge 2011

I admit I never properly kept track of the number of books I read in 2010 after challenging myself to read 100 books. I am sure I managed it as some weeks I read 3 books so hoping I did it...


So this year I'm going to try and be more committed by signing up to Book Chick City's 100 book challenge. Will see if I can finish off my latest C J Sansom - Heartstone before the end of tomorrow and then watch this space to see how I do!


If you want to join in then click on the link above or the icon appearing at the side of my blog and give yourself a challenge.
